The Green Bag, that "entertaining journal of law" known for, inter alia, its judicial bobbleheads, has announced its 2007 honorees for Exemplary Legal Writing. Unlike so many of the competitions we know and despise, this was "not your typical invitation to competitive self-promotion," the editors say. Rather, an indisputably prestigious board of advisers undertook "a moderately vigilant watch for good legal writing," the premise being that members of the board "would know it when they saw it." From among their selections came winnowing and balloting, to arrive at "the cream of that already creamy crop."
